| Hook's Colby |
Hook's World Champion Colby is a washed curd cheese. This is the
traditional way of making Colby and gives the cheese little tiny openings
and a sweeter flavor than a cheddar. Washing the curd washes the
lactose or milk sugar off of the curd. In traditional cheddar
the lactose is not washed off and the starter bacteria that we add feed on
the milk sugars changing the cheese to give it a more acidic flavor.
This does not occur in our traditional Colby still made the same way we made
it when we won the overall World Cheese Championship on it in 1982.
